Objectives: Long-term survival in patients with truncus arteriosus (TA) is favorable, but there remains significant morbidity associated with need for ongoing re-interventions. The purpose of this study was to understand the long-term outcomes of the truncal valve (TV) and identify risk factors associated with the need for TV intervention. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 170 patients who underwent initial TA repair at our institution from 1985-2015. Analysis of long-term outcomes was performed on the 148 patients who survived greater than 30 days post-operatively and to hospital discharge using multivariable competing risks Cox regression modeling. Results: Median follow up time was 12.6 years (IQR 5.0, 22.1 years) after full repair. Freedom from death or transplant at 1, 5, 10, and 20 years was 93.1 ± 2.1%, 88.0 ± 2.7%, 86.2 ± 3.0% and 78.3 ± 4.1%. Thirty patients (20%) underwent at least one intervention on the TV (22 repairs, 21 replacements). Freedom from any TV intervention at 1, 5, 10 and 20 years was 99 ± 1%, 94 ± 8%, 82 ± 9%, and 70 ± 5%. Of those with TV repair, 59% subsequently underwent TV replacement. Independent risk factors for need for TV intervention included ≥moderate TV regurgitation (TVR) (HR 4.77, p<0.001) or stenosis (HR 4.12, p<0.001) prior to full repair, and ≥moderate TVR at initial hospital discharge after full repair (HR 8.6, p<0.001). A single coronary ostium was also independently associated with need for TV intervention (HR 6.94, p=0.01). Quadricuspid valve morphology and TV repair at initial TA repair, risk factors in univariate analysis, were not independent predictors on multivariable analysis. Overall, 28% of patients progressed to ≥moderate TVR and to Z-scores of greater than 5 for valve dimensions. Conclusion: Long-term need for TV intervention remains significant. Moderate or worse initial TVR or stenosis, residual TVR after initial TA repair, and single coronary ostium are risk factors associated with need for subsequent TV intervention.

Introduction: Maintenance is a fundamental phase of the therapy and prevention of periodontal diseases. The objectives of this review are: a) To determine what are the aspects of maintenance periodontal therapy; b) know the value of maintenance on the long-term results of periodontal treatment; c) review the risk factors of the patient, the tooth and the location; d) establish a protocol of action in the different situations. Material, methods and results: To carry out this work, 46 scientific articles have been analyzed. The MEDLINE and Cochrane databases were used for the search. Discussion:The goals of maintenance therapy are to prevent the initiation and recurrence of periodontal diseases. Regardless of the type of treatment we perform, the clinical parameters will not improve if maintenance by the professional is not carried out. To establish the intervals for the appointments and the locations to be treated, it will be essential to assess the risk factors associated with the patient, the tooth and the location.

Abstract Background Autoimmune systemic inflammatory diseases are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly myocardial infarction (MI). However, there are limited data on the prevalence and effects of inflammatory disease among U.S. adults who experience an MI at a young age. Purpose We sought to determine the prevalence and prognostic value of inflammatory disease in U.S. adults who experience an MI at a young age. Methods The YOUNG-MI registry is a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients who experienced a Type 1 MI at or below the age of 50 years from 2000 to 2016 at two large medical centers. A diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis (PsO), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or inflammatory arthritis was determined through physician review of electronic medical records (EMR). Demographic information, presence of cardiovascular (CV) risk-factors, medical procedures, and medications upon discharge were also ascertained from the EMR. Incidence of death was determined using a combination of EMR and national databases. Cox proportional hazard modeling was performed on a sub-sample following Mahalanobis Distance matching on age, sex, and CV risk factors. Results The cohort consisted of 2097 individuals (median age 45 years, 19% female, 53% ST-elevation MI). Among these, 53 (2.5%) individuals possessed a diagnosis of systemic inflammatory disease at or before their index MI (23% SLE, 9% RA, 64% PsO, 4% inflammatory arthritis). When compared to the remainder of the cohort, patients with a diagnosis of systemic inflammatory disease were more likely to be female (36% vs 19%, p=0.004) and be diagnosed with hypertension (62% vs 46%, p=0.025). There was, however, no significant difference in the prevalence of other CV risk factors – diabetes, smoking, dyslipidemia – or a family history of premature coronary artery disease. Despite these similarities, patients with inflammatory disease were less likely to be prescribed aspirin (88% vs 95%, p=0.049) or a statin (76% vs 89%, p=0.008) upon discharge. Over a median follow-up of 11.2 years, patients with inflammatory disease experienced an increased risk of all-cause mortality when compared with the full-cohort (Figure). Compared to the matched sample (n=138), patients with systemic inflammatory disease exhibited an increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR=2.68, CI [1.18 to 6.07], p=0.018), which remained significant after multivariable adjustment for length of stay and GFR (HR=2.38, CI [1.02 to 5.54], p=0.045). Conclusions Among individuals who experienced an MI at a young age, approximately 2.5% had evidence of a systemic inflammatory disease at or before their MI. When compared with a population of individuals with similar cardiovascular risk profiles, those with inflammatory disease had higher rates of all-cause mortality. Our findings suggest that the presence of a systemic inflammatory disorder is independently associated with worse long-term outcomes.

Risk Of Retinopathy

Background:Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is commonly used for the treatment of various autoimmune diseases. The medication is generally well-tolerated. However, long-term use after 5 years may increase the risk of retinopathy. One study in 2014 has demonstrated the risk can be as high as 7.5%. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has become a major modality in screening retinopathy.Objectives:To evaluate the prevalence of retinal toxicity among patients using hydroxychloroquine and to determine various risk factors associated with hydroxychloroquine-associated retinal toxicity.Methods:We performed a retrospective chart review on a cohort of adult patients with long-term use (≥ 5 years cumulative) of HCQ between January 1st, 2011 to December 31st, 2018 from the Kaiser Permanente San Bernardino County and Riverside medical center areas in Southern California, USA. Patients were excluded if they had previously been diagnosed with retinopathy prior to hydroxychloroquine use, were deceased, or had incomplete OCT exam. Our primary endpoint was the prevalence of patients who developed retinal toxicity detected by OCT, and later confirmed by retinal specialist. Potential risk factors (age, duration of therapy, daily consumption per actual body weight, cumulative dose, confounding diseases and medication) for developing retinopathy were also evaluated. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to determine risk factors associated with retinal toxicity.Results:Among 676 patients exposed to more than 5 years of HCQ, the overall prevalence of retinal toxicity was 6.8%, and ranged from 2.5% to 22.2% depending on the age, weight-based dosing, duration of use and cumulative dose. Duration of therapy for 10 years or more increased risk of retinopathy by approximately 5 to 19 folds. Similarly, weight-based dose of 7 mg/kg/day or greater was assciated with increased risk of retinopathy by approximately 5 times. Patients with cumulative dose of 2000 grams or more had greater than 15 times higher risk of developing retinopathy. Duration of use for10 years or more (odd ratio 4.32, 95% CI 1.99 – 12.49), age (odd ratio 1.04; 95% CI 1.01 - 1.08), cumulative dose of more than 1500 g (odd ratio 7.4; 95% CI 1.40 – 39.04) and atherosclerosis of the aorta (odd ratio 2.59; 95% CI, 1.24 – 5.41) correlated with higher risk of retinal toxicity.Conclusion:The overall prevalence of retinopathy was 6.8%. Regular OCT screening, especially in patients with hydroxychloroquine use for more than 10 years, daily intake > 7 mg/kg, or cumulative dose > 1500 grams is important in detecting hydroxychloroquine-associated retinal toxicityReferences:[1]Hobbs HE.

Abstract Background Clinical evidence indicates that there are various risk factors of tooth loss. However, the degree of this risk among other risk factors remains unclear. In this retrospective cohort study, the authors evaluated the hazard ratios of several risk factors for tooth loss. Methods Included patients had all been treated for dental disorders, were in the supportive phase of periodontal therapy by dental hygienists, and visited a Japanese dental office continually during a 10-year period. Periodontal parameters, tooth condition, and general status of all teeth (excluding third molars) at the initial visit and at least 10 years later were evaluated by using multiple classification analysis. Results The authors evaluated a total of 7584 teeth in 297 patients (average age: 45.3, mean follow-up time: 13.9 years) Non-vital pulp was the most significant predictor of tooth loss according to Cox hazards regression analysis (hazard ratio: 3.31). The 10-year survival rate was approximately 90% for teeth with non-vital pulp and 99% for teeth with vital pulp. Fracture was the most common reason for tooth loss. Conclusions Non-vital pulp had the most significant association with tooth loss among the parameters. Therefore, it is very important to minimize dental pulp extirpation.
